Welcome to the Raw Recap. Sam Roberts, Megan Morant here coming immediately off of Monday Night Raw. And more specifically, the main event that was advertised for a couple weeks, but but you could smell it coming for I don't know, a month, month and a half. But going back to when they they announced this tournament, back to when Rey Mysterio pulled Roman Reigns aside and he said uh he said uh Hefe. He said tribal chief.

Sam Roberts 2:21
Mm-hmm.
Sam Roberts 2:27
Roman Reigns feels That just being in a match with Roman Reigns is a prize into and of itself. And therefore, he asked that question of challengers: what have you done to even be in this conversation? What have you done to deserve getting the time of day from me?

And just because something happens in a city, once you see it, once you hear the reaction, it becomes contagious wherever you are. When when the clip of of Stephanie Vacare winning the women's world championship. from Liv Morgan in Santiago, Chile, went out there. Everybody. heard how they reacted to Stephanie Vacare in her hometown and it and and it and it drove the enthusiasm for Stephanie.
